2019 Quilceda Creek “CVR” Red Wine
The Sum of Parts
“CVR” stands for ‘C’est Vin Rouge’ (‘it’s red wine’) in French, and our 2019 Quilceda Creek CVR Red Wine combines lots from our estate vineyard sites, including Champoux, Mach One and Galitzine. The 2019 growing season was unique, with summer temperatures that were considerably warmer than in recent years and above the 20-year average. The resulting wine has copious amounts of black, blue and red fruits, with nuances of graphite, roasted herbs and minerals. This blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot is one of the best CVRs to date and will be best enjoyed over the next 15 years. SOLD OUT.
“CVR represents our vineyards across the Horse Heaven Hills and Red Mountain AVAs and is a blend of red Bordeaux varietals. The 2019 represents a tremendous value from a fantastic vintage.”
— Paul Golitzin

"Impressive right out of the gate, it shows off pretty red florals alongside red bell pepper, blackberry compote and mocha tones on the nose."
